  • Stacking tray particularly for bottles, more specifically a stacking tray as described in the introductory part of claim 1.
  • a stacking tray for bottles is known.
  • This stacking tray has protruding, hollow tray tops which can be engaged on the bottle tops, so that the inside bottom of the tray tops engage with the upper side of the bottle tops. Additionally an annular rib on the bottle neck beneath the threads for the cap provides a guide for the inner sides of the tray tops.
  • the prior art stacking tray requires a diagonal arrangement of the bottles, as the rows of depressions are in juxtaposition. Further, the engagement against the bottom of the tray tops requires the lower side of the tray to extend over the upper, narrow part of the bottle neck. Consequently, this prior art stacking tray can not adapt packs of two or more bottles which are connected by a carrying handle, e.g. of cardboard, of a type where holes engage over the bottle caps to engage under the annular ribs.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a stacking tray suitable for stacking of bottle packs with a carrying handle engaging the bottle neck close to the annular rim. It is a particular object to provide a stacking tray in which a part of the load from an upper stacking tray is applied to on the annular rim. A further object is to provide a stacking tray which provides a stable stack when several layers of bottles are arranged one above the other
  • the invention is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1 With this stacking tray, it is possible to stack bottle packs, e g 4-packs and 6-packs, with a handle of cardboard or plastic, in stacks of up to six layers.
  • the side walls of the tray tops will merge into the side walls of the depressions at four sectors for each tray top. For each sector, a sickle shaped indent is formed in the tray tops, said indents providing an engagement as stated i claims 2 and 3
  • Fig 1 is a plan view from above, of a stacking tray according to the invention, with room for 88 bottles in one layer
  • Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section through two layers of bottles stacked with a stacking tray according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 is a part of a section like in Fig 2, but in a transverse direction
  • Fig 4 is a plan view from below on a somewhat larger scale of a part of the stacking tray of Fig 1
  • Fig. 5 is a side view of a bottle arranged between an opper and a lower stacking tray, and showing part of the neighbouring bottles and stacking trays
  • Fig 6 is an enlarged part of Fig 5, to illustrate the support grooves for the annular rims of the bottle necks
  • Fig 7 is a part of Fig 1 shown on a larger scale
  • Fig 8 is a vertical section through two neigbouring depressions in the stacking tray of Fig. 1-7, but in the larger scale of Fig. 7,
  • Fig 9 is a part bottom plan view of an alternative embodiment of the novel stacking tray
  • Fig. 10 is a part of a side view of the stacking tray according to Fig 9, used for stacking with engagement against the lower side of the tray depressions, and
  • Fig 1 1 is a part of a vertical section of an alternative embodiment of the transition between the depressions, to provide a firmer engagement with the bottle caps
  • Fig 1 shows a stacking tray 1 1 having eight rows of eleven tray depressions 12 each and a corresponding number of rows of tray tops 13, as illustrated in Figs 6-8
  • the rows of tray depressions and tray tops respectively are arranged juxtaposed in an offset manner, the rows of tray tops being offset half a pitch relative to the rows of tray depressions.
  • the tray tops 13 are oriented upwardly relative to the tray depressions 12 and each is arranged symmetrically adjacent to four neighbouring tray depressions, and outside two neighbouring tray depressions at opposite of the tray sides.
  • the tray depressions are dimensioned to accommodate the bottom part of a bottle of a certain size, e.g. a PET-bottle with the volume 0,5 - 2 Liter, while the tray tops are suited to engage with the top of a bottle. This will be described in more detail below.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 show a stacking tray 1 1, used for stacking two layers 15 and 16 of upright bottles 14.
  • a lower layer 15 of bottles is arranged on a stacking tray 1 1 on a support (not shown) e.g. a pallet.
  • a first stacking tray 1 1 A is arranged, with the tray tops 13 engaging on the bottle tops 18, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
  • the stacking tray will stabilize the lower layer 15 of bottles and provide a base for an upper, second layer 16 of bottles, in which the bottles 14 are arrranged with their lower parts in the tray depressions in the lower stacking tray 1 1 A.
  • the second layer 16 of bottles is correspondingly covered by a second stacking tray 1 IB which acts both as a stabilizer and also as a base for further layers of bottles.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the bottles in each layer are arranged side by side and that stacked layers of bottles are mutually disposed by a distance equal to half a bottle.
  • the edge of the stacking tray is provided with a depending rim (see Fig. 8 and 1 1 ) to avoid bending.
  • Fig. 4 shows the area of engagement of the bottle tops 18 from below. In the bottom
  • Each bottom 19 has two respectively four indents 20 as shown in more detail in Fig. 6.
  • Fig. 5 shows how each bottle 14 is arranged relative to lower and stacking upper trays 1 1 A and 1 IB.
  • the relationship between the tray depressions 12 and 13 results in the stacking tray 1 1 engaging only the upper part of the bottle necks and the lower part of each bottle in an upper layer of bottles. This leaves free space for a handle 21, which is shown in outline in Fig. 5 and 6, and which abutts the upper part of the bottle neck 22.
  • Fig. 6 shows in more detail how the bottle tops 18 are engaged by the tray tops 13.
  • the bottom 23 of each tray top 13 has an opening 23 A.
  • the upper part of each tray top 13 may be cylindrical and merge into a diverging part integrated with the adjoining tray depressions 1 1.
  • each tray depression 12 has an indent 20 adjacent to the tray top as shown in Fig. 4.
  • Each tray top 13 located between four tray depressions 12 will thus face four indents 20 in a circle at right angles.
  • the indents 20 are provided in the wall of each tray depression 19, but penetrate do not the wall.
  • the bottle top 18 has an annular rim 25 located under and at a distance from a bottle cap 24. Rim 25 is integral formed with the bottle neck. Between the bottle cap 24 and the annual rim 25 may incorporated a sealing ring (not shown), which is broken when the bottle cap is initially opened.
  • the bottle cap 24 in the example shown engages with the walls inside the tray top 13, but is spaced a distance from the bottom 23. This incures no stress or transfer of vertical forces on the bottle cap 24, from the superposed stacking tray 1 IB
  • Fig. 6 shows how the annular rim 25 engages the indents 20 to transfer weight forces from a superposed stacking tray 1 I B.
  • the annular rims 25 will transfer the weight of the superposed stacking tray 1 IB to the bottle necks 22.
  • the bottle necks are however exposed because the lower side 26 of the stacking tray 1 IB is arranged over the upper end 27 of the conical part of the bottle neck.
  • a stacking tray according to the invention will thus leave space for a gripping handle 21.
  • the gripping handle 21 may be formed in various ways, e.g. of plastic or cardboard, for lowering on to the bottle tops 18 of two or more bottles in a group.
  • FIG. 7 shows a corner of a stacking tray 1 1 with a depending outer rim or skirt 28, illustrating the location of a tray top 13 between four tray depressions 12.
  • a circular opening 29 Centrally in the bottom of each tray depression 1 1 there is a circular opening 29. This opening is surrounded by four evenly distributed ribs 30 defining intervening drainage grooves 31.
  • the purpose of the ribs 30 is to engage the depressions at the bottom of each bottle, as illustrated in Fig. 6 and 8, to support the bottles and contribute to the force transfer, to provide the bottles a small clearance or an engagement without force transfer on the side, against the walls of the tray depressions.
  • Fig. 8 shows the design of the stacking tray at the edge and at the transition between two tray depressions.
  • the height of the tray depressions 12 is lower than the height of the tray tops 13. This will leave necessary height for the bottle caps 24 to avoid engagement.
  • Fig. 9 shows a view from the bottom of an alternative embodiment, in which the tray depression 32 has a narrower opening 33, inhibiting the entrance of the bottle cap 24.
  • the stacking tray thus can be used as shown in Fig. 2 and 5, for stacking the trays with a 180° twist, and additionally as shown in Fig. 10, with the trays arranged directly one above the other, for stacking with a high stacking tray, with the bottle caps of one layer engaging the bottoms of the tray depressions 32 of an upper tray.
  • the stacking tray 1 1 may be manufactured of a suitable plastics material, e.g. PP, by extrusion or another known method of manufactue.
  • Several empty stacking trays may be stacked with mating lower and upper parts. In use, the stacking trays need to be located in alternating 180° orientations so that the tray depressions mate the tray tops, to introduce the bottle tops into the tray tops 13.
  • the tray may also be used for "high" stacking, without 180° twist, the bottle tops then engaging the bottom of the tray depressions 12, see Fig. 10.
  • an annular rib or series of axial ribs may extend from the bottom 23 or a step with a lesser diameter may be provided at the inner end of the tray tops. Even though this may require a more complicated manufacturing procedure and a higher consumption of material, it will enable a corresponding arrangement of the stacking tray as described above. By having the tray tops support by an engagement under the bottom, i.e. the end of the cap, any load on the top of the bottle cap is avoided. Thus, wearing off of any printing on the top of the bottle cap is avoided. Additionally, leakage due to an offset load on the bottle cap is avoided.
